For ordinary people in the Empire, postwar psychological syndrome was relatively rare—those who disregarded life were usually not that fragile.
In the Federation, such cases were not common either, but there were indeed real examples.
The man was a Rank C Warrior, yet he could not fit into society and could not even find a suitable job.
After getting married, his wife provided most of the income, and he did not care about her private life.
—It was already good enough that someone was willing to accept him, and his wife did indeed shoulder most of the household expenses.
When the woman suffered an injustice this time, he went to demand an explanation and was beaten badly, which thoroughly enraged him.
After recovering from his injuries, he planned a series of assassinations and even killed two Rank B military personnel.
Later, the military sent experts to eliminate him and confiscated all his property.
His wife not only lost her job, but also ended up burdened with heavy debts.
This outcome provoked dissatisfaction among his former comrades, who wanted an explanation from the military.
—That man was certainly wrong to kill, but why could they not send him to the battlefield to atone for his sins? Why did they have to put him to death? Simply put, this was a conflict between the Self-Defense Force camp and the military.
The matter was not a major one, but the Self-Defense Force could not stomach it. Still, directly confronting the military at a time like this was difficult.
The man's comrades tried to use public opinion to pressure the military—after all, the Federation was not like the Empire, and its information barriers were not so strong.
However, the facts proved that such sensitive information could not possibly appear online.
